Isaiah Thomas... do Celtics want to max him? how bad is his defense ?

[Rigby.]

If Boston gives IT the max, they're not winning a championship anywhere in the near future

 

[ISO]

Maybe cause of none today superstars are known or bother playing defense..

Westbrook
Harden
Curry
Boogie
Etc

Dont play defense but are considered superstars

Those guys aren't as bad defensively as portrayed.

 

[William F. Russell]

So many posters in this thread do not regularly watch the Celtics.

 

[tremonthustler1]

IT gotta be the most unwanted big time star in a while.

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

What about when kobe struggle 40/50 pieced lmao you guys nitpick about everything

 

[MikelArteta]

He's not a max player but they maxed out horford so they painted themselves in a corner

in this nba he is
demar derozan got almost 30 mill a year
bum ass scrubs liek chandler parsons, kent bazemore, alan crabbe are making 18 mill plus a season.

if they dont pay him, other teams will

 

[MikelArteta]

They should not max him. Hell if they get Ball or Fultz I think they should let him walk or try to work out a trade.

celtics are about to finish first in the east, but they should blow it up and get rid of a guy whose responsible for like 30% of their offense, and hand the reigns to guys who can turn out to be busts

 

[William F. Russell]

Doesn't mean shyt though, Celtics are known for backstabbing their guys and not taking care of em. They will kick IT out with the quickness and I know he sees it coming. I hope Fultz or whoever they draft pays off because they have declined guys like PG and Butler for that guy

Who'd the Celtics backstab? :billrusselloldheadstare:

 

[Versa]

The answer is yes his defense is bad and yes the celtics should want to max him. There's like 5 people on the planet as offensively gifted as him and he's the best player on a #1 seeded team....

Outside of Kawhi and occasionally LeBron where are these other stars that play both sides?..

Kevin Durant is a better defender than LeBron James. Has been for years.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Even if they don't give it to him if a team like the Kings Nets etc. have the cash they will throw it at him. The only thing is he will have to duplicate this type of season again next year if he is thinking about getting max type money.

That would be some bizarro world shyt if the Kings maxed him

EXACTLY!!

Why anybody would be comfortable getting rid of a proven cold blooded killer to take a step back with some wet behind the ears pups.

NBA fans loves to hype up potential every year.
Like what IT can do is easy

 

[CarltonJunior]

I wanted to wait awhile before I gave my official verdict. Gotta pay him, success like this is lightning in a bottle, you hit on the next 2 picks and build around him. Might never be better than the Cavs but youll have years and years of deep contention

 

[GhettoNintendo]

should've never signed horford
